Abstract
A combustor heat shield comprises a heat shield body adapted to be mounted to a combustor wall with a back side of the heat shield body in spaced-apart facing relationship with the combustor wall to define an air gap between the heat shield body and the combustor wall. At least one nozzle opening is defined in the heat shield bod. The opening is bordered by a nozzle opening boss. The boss extends from the back side of the heat shield body across the air gap for sealing engagement with an adjacent part of the combustor. An annular array of effusion holes is provided adjacent the nozzle opening boss. The effusion holes extend through the heat shield body for passing cooling air from the back side to a front side of the heat shield body. Fins are interspersed between the effusion holes on the back side of the heat shield.
